Some Sven Co-op News

Post by A Ninja » Wed Jul 17, 2013 2:55 am

The Sven Co-op team just got permission from Valve to make their own custom version of the Half Life engine, meaning that in the next version...
The next version of Sven Co-op will run as a standalone game using a custom build of the Half-Life engine.

The game will be FREE for all Steam users, including the official Half-Life campaign. A Half-Life purchase will not be required.

Automatic updates will be available using Steam's content delivery system dubbed SteamPipe. This will allow us to perform more frequent and rapid updates as needed.

Updates and new features will be added to the Half-Life engine, as well as a series of improvements to Half-Life's level editor called Hammer.

Increased Half-Life engine limits to allow for much larger and more detailed worlds.

Stability, performance, and gameplay improvements for everyone.

Free is nice, but I wonder if any new players are really going to play. I can't even remember the last time I played Sven Co-op
Because, since you don't know me, there is a great possibility that I'm on an higher intellectuel level then you are on.

Personally I think this is fucking awesome. If you read the Sven Coop website it explains in a bit more detail some of the changes, which are even to the half life engine and hammer. It will be free, which will be a huge draw.
In some other time and space, I found time for a new signature.

Maybe now I'll be able to play it. I own HL: Source, but not HL1, and any attempt to purchase HL1 has been met with "you already own HL1, why don't you buy HL: source?", yes I've checked multiple times, Steam's retarded.
